I found the original "V" miniseries on Sci-Fi (it's not SyFy dammit, especially if you're airing programming like this), and um...I'm actually quite enjoying it. It still looks pretty...decent, for something that was on television in the 80's.
Now I'm slightly interested in the new one, which...funny story, I've never seen the original until just now, but when promos began airing, I immediately recognized it as a remake of "V". That's how much pop culture my brain just has backlogged.

I loved it when i was a kid during it's first run.
Mouse eating was super cool for a seven year old.

Yeah Im watching it too. Oddly my main thought coming out of it is that the kid playing Daniel is perfectly cast as a weak little weasel, seeing as he was the one who stood outside the house while his co-star to be, Dominique Dunne, was strangled to death by her boyfriend.
Otherwise though it has been really good. The special effects are actually pretty good for an 80s TV Miniseries.
